Buying Wine in Boston

[TeamBozo]

Does anyone know of a wine shop in Boston that is convenient to the cruise terminal? We have a bit of time before boarding the ship and I am thinking of making a wine run. Thank you for your help.

You might want to ask over on the East Coast Departures board, here:

Lots of Boston info over there.

We used Boston Wine Exchange last year prior to our Maasdam cruise. I contacted them online, emailed back and forth and ordered by email. They have curbside pickup and it worked very smoothly as the the cruise departed on a Saturday. Just a slight diversion from the airport. Case was very well packed, all went well.

May I suggest if you plan to have a taxi stop on the way from the airport to Black Falcon, one of you remain in the taxi with your property. I cringe when I think of everyone getting out of the taxi and leaving your suitcases, carryons, perhaps computer etc in the taxi unattended.

 

Almost all the time that would be safe but there's that one in a million chance if isn't a smart thing to do. IMO
